Hamachi Sushi Bar — a japanese spot in Devon Avenue. A holdout in the best possible way. Straight from the source, no adjustments. "The fish was excellent, fresh and generous cut, and vegetables were fresh" — Nori Sakata

“The fish was excellent, fresh and generous cut, and vegetables were fresh”
Really nice people but the food was average at best. The stir fry beef tasted like ketchup, I wish that was a joke.
Came during my lunch , google says this restaurant is open right now, 12:45 on a Wednesday , sign with hours on the door says they’re open … but they were in fact CLOSED.
That case when you want to leave zero stars. The place is filthy, the server didn’t come once to check on us.

“Extensive selection of Kosher Sushi Rolls (hot and cold) and Bowl styles, including Chirashi and Poke.”
Extensive selection of Kosher Sushi Rolls (hot and cold) and Bowl styles, including Chirashi and Poke. Miso soup was salty, but the rolls did not disappoint. Very generous portions, to say the least. The fish was excellent, fresh and generous cut, and vegetables were fresh. Small seating area with a Sushi bar. Corner space. I had the "Kate," Roll and Mom had a Hamachi and Avocado Roll. Got to meet Kate as a bonus. They also have a Kosher Chinese selection. I could not believe how many to-go orders went out the door in the short time we were there.

the sushi in the photo (I don't really know all the names for sushi) was really good, but you know what's better? the sushi burrito (I'm so sorry, I don't know the names) was very filling, mostly because there's a lot of fish. The chairs are my only complaint, they're not bad, but not five stars good

Small. About four tables. Great deal to come for lunch. Ran out of meat and rice the night before so we couldn't get their beef and broccoli. Got four rolls and two miso soups for $40. Didn't like the dragonfly, but loved the redhead, ahava and salmon jalapeno. Dragonfly was just too hard and didn't stay as one piece with the chopsticks, ahava was the black rice which had a peanut taste. Ordered next day for the meat and got takeout. Got beef and broccoli and sesame chicken with fried rice. All were 5/5.

“The food is always good at Hamachi, but the Forbidden Bento box was a pleasant surprise.”
The food is always good at Hamachi, but the Forbidden Bento box was a pleasant surprise! Perfect combination, filling and delicious.

“Super fresh, velvety, smooth fish.”
Super fresh, velvety, smooth fish. I got a duvi poke bowl and it was delicious! Simple ingredients for a healthy lunch. The mushrooms were especially incredible!

“I'd suggest reserving a table here before coming in.”
I'd suggest reserving a table here before coming in. Overall a good place to eat. I found it interesting that as a sushi store they also have Chinese food :)

“Really nice, cozy place.”
Really nice, cozy place. Perfect for a night out! Excellent, friendly, professional customer service! Equally great food! The prices, however, are great if you want to put your wallet on a starvation diet! Highly recommended, if you're not looking for a cheap night out...

“We like this place very much.”
We like this place very much. The food is very good, fresh and the portions are plentiful for the money. The sushi is unique for a kosher sushi place, some nice combinations and flavors. The Chinese is an add-on from their original business plan and seems to be working well. Our family loves the Chinese food from here. For the visitor or traveler, they package well and they are fast. 10 min on most days/times to prepare your request. It’s a good call if you’re in town. Just be mindful of parking, which can be a challenge.

“Very good, fresh food.”
Very good, fresh food. Their Chicago take on Pho with Romanian sausage was good, but not excellent. It should of had more flavour than it had. I can't even remember what main I had, which means it was fine but not memorable good or bad. Service was laid back and excellent. I would visit again and try their other offerings.

“Found a 🍣 place that is Kosher.”
Found a 🍣 place that is Kosher. Yahooo Wish the spicey tuna was chopped up and mixed with spicey sauce. The yellowtail was the best. The fun part that all was put on a "boat" . They even let use omitt the fake crab out of the CA roll. Quick seating and not long to wait for the order to come out on Saturday night.

“Certainly a very good effort and a lot of thought went into the menu.”
Certainly a very good effort and a lot of thought went into the menu. I'm sure that regular customers will have their favorite dishes. For a first time viator, I found the menu to be a little overwhelming. Less is more... But everything we ordered was delicious.
